Chapter 3

(Isabella POV)

"You can place him on that bed" I said as I switch on the light of the clinic. Today we didn't have many patients, only an old man and a soldier who will be discharged tomorrow.

I walked to the cabinet and took out the necessary medicines. I warmed some water and also took a towel.

By the time I returned to my new patient his shirt was drenched in blood. I quickly removed his shirt and started cleaning the wound.

"It seems like he is from the D- section of the alpha team" Daniel said looking at the man's uniform.

The soldiers in fighting are categorized into different types. Alpha is the highest top ranking soldiers and D section is the sniffle department.

"His name is Killian" he said as I looked at him confused.

"How did you..." I started to ask but stopped me midway as he pointed at the badge on the uniform.

"Oh" I said nodding.

I looked at the wound and cringed at the dark veins protruding.

"Zylian Poison," Daniel said as I nodded worriedly.

Zylian poisons are very dangerous for us, humans. If we don't get the proper medication we will die a slow and painful death.

"Those aliens are going out of hand" he said as I sighed and slowly cleaned the wound.

"We need to do a surgery to take out the bullet or he might die. Can you please call Nancy and Jaylen" I said as Daniel nodded and quickly walked away.

I made my way to the operation theater and prepared the necessary. I sighed as I saw the medicines are almost finished.

I should contact the government for restocking.

"You called us?" Jaylen asked as I nodded.

"A man is injured. Bullet pierced through his abdomen along with the fast spreading of poison.

We need to do the surgery fast and alongside start the blood purification" I said as he nodded and walked to the clinic room.

The surgery took about 4 hours but in the end we were successful. My shoulders were stiff and I wanted nothing more than to sleep.

But unfortunately, I can't. Someone needs to take care of him.

I told Nancy and Jaylen to take rest and Daniel has gone to his camp base which leaves me alone with this man.

I stared at his face studying all his facial features. He is handsome, no doubt about that.

He seems strange... so different.

His skin is flawless and awfully pale. His hair was a mixed color of White and Silver. Even his eyelids are almost white.

I remember his eyes were beautiful gold. It held many emotions as he stared at me- Pain confusion shock fear. Those eyes were enchanting and I felt myself have a weird feeling the moment our eyes met.

My heart skipped a beat.

It somehow hurts to see him like this. I have treated many men and women who have been involved in the war. Many with much worse conditions.

But somehow seeing this man on the bed covered in bandages made my heartache.

"Is he better now?" A voice came from behind startling me.

"Daniel! You scared me! I thought you went to the camp base." I said as he laughed.

"Yes, I forgot to return this" he said as I took the blanket I lend him the last time he came.

"Thank you" I said as he nodded.

"How is he? Will he wake up soon?" He asked as I looked at the man in the bed.

"I guess you can say he is alright. The poison has been removed but I doubt he will be able to walk for some time. His spine has been injured so he will need Physiotherapy." I said as he nodded.

"Well he is in capable hands" He replied as I smiled and nodded.

After talking for some more time he made his way back to his camp base.

I passed time by cleaning the clinic and reading a book.

A groan suddenly echoed through the air as my eyes widen.

"Mr. Killian!" I called as I ran to his side. His eyes were still closed but he was sweating a lot.

"Mr. Killian, are you alright?!" I asked again touching his hand. My eyes widen as I felt a wave of sparks and warmth.

What the hell was that?

I touched his cheek but had to retrieve it back when I felt a wave of sparks again. This time it was much more evident.

He seems to have felt it too as he twitched his eyebrows opening them up. He looked around confused but soon his rare hazel color eyes lands on me, staring at me making me feel self-conscious.

"Hello, Mr. Killian" I smiled nervously.
